How many more times does #CCP have to tell you with concrete actions that it's untrustworthy, before the world stop appeasing them?

The Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro Continued to Criticize China's Vaccine with Low Effectiveness

The Sao Paulo State in Brazil planned to use the Wuhan Virus vaccine developed by Sinovac from China. But President Jair Bolsonaro continued to judge this vaccine, saying that its effectiveness was seemingly low.

Bolsonaro made a Christmas speech on the internet on Thursday saying "The effectiveness of the vaccine which used by Sao Paulo State is relatively low”. But he did not make further explanations. He also indicated earlier that he would not inject this vaccine.

Confidential document says Beijing refuses to fund local CDC, bureaucracy causes collapse of the medical system and loss of epidemic prevention and fighting function

The initial outbreak of Wuhan COVID-19 in China has spread globally. The leaked documents received by CNN not only reflect China's mishandling of the epidemic but also reveal that China's health care system has been riddled with problems for a prolonged period of time and that when the epidemic escalated, officials and medical personnel generally took it lightly, further contributing to the global outbreak of the virus.

After SARS in 2003, the Chinese authorities spent 167 million USD (about 1.3 billion HKD) to set up a notification system. Theoretically, the system allows regional hospitals or disease prevention centres to directly report outbreaks to the central government and share relevant information with the entire country. However, according to a report in the paper, the system itself slowed down, and other bureaucratic constraints have further impeded information flow.

Compared to major cities, such as Beijing and Shanghai, Wuhan's medical system received relatively few resources. An audit report completed last October pointed out that Hubei Province's disease prevention centre was underfunded. The lack of proper testing equipment and motivated medical staff, especially in the early stages of the outbreak when they still used SARS-era equipment, was completely neglected by the Chinese Bureaucracy.

How typical of #CCP to micro-manage an investigation, just makes you feel that they're hiding something. What are they so afraid that #WHO would find out?! Will the world never know the truth about #COVID?

WHO Experts Visit Market in Wuhan to Trace the Pandemic’s Origin, Reporters Shut Out by Chinese Authorities

As the Wuhan virus pandemic enters its second year, a group of specialists sent by the WHO arrived in Wuhan on 14 January to investigate the pandemic’s origin. During their visit to the Huanan Seafood Wholesale Market on 31 January, local authorities cordoned off the market with water-filled barriers with officers standing in front of reporters to keep them out.

Footage by Reuters show that a number of officers stopped reporters and other people from following vehicles that carried the WHO specialists into the market and set up barriers on the perimeter. The specialists, wearing visitor badges, did not respond to questions from reporters when they got out of their cars. They also visited the Jinyintan Hospital, where early Wuhan disease patients had been treated, and exhibitions showcasing efforts to combat the pandemic that day.

US media: #BGI and the People’s Liberation Army collaborate to collect DNA data

According to reports of The Reuters and current affairs program "60 Minutes" of CBS, BGI Group – the world’s largest biotechnology company, is ties to the People’s Liberation Army (PLA), including working with PLA supercomputer experts on research that range from respiratory pathogens to brain science. Since the outbreak of COVID-19, BGI sells millions of COVID-19 test kits in Europe, America, and Australia. US security officials have warned American labs against using Chinese test kids, concerning China on gathering foreign genetic data for its own research, though BGI strongly denied.

By searching over 40 publicly available documents and research papers in Chinese and English, the Reuters showed the links between BGI Group and PLA are closer than previously understood, reflecting how China integrates private technology companies into military-related research under President Xi Jinping.

So damn confusing. Can’t we just call them by where we first discovered them?! Stating the originating place of a virus or its variant =/= being discriminatory. It’s just a fact!!
